Here it is, the official authorized biography of the King!  Yes, of course, this is a lavishly illustrated oversize hardcover edition.  It's author, Mark Evanier was the man closest to Kirby during the last two decades of his life and so was in a position to learn of many personal anecdotes that no other chronicler of Kirby's life would have had access to.  That said, Evanier's acccount of Kirby's life is not the thorough, in-depth one that we are all waiting for -- it looks like we'll have to wait a bit longer.  From a production and presentation standpoint, however, the creators of this volume have done an excellent job.  The quality of the reproductions is top notch and the've made all the right printing decisions  -- flat colors on flat, bright, low-reflective, heavyweight white stock. The book is filled with page after amazing page of full size reproductions of original art, as well as luscious reproductions of the comics themselves. This book is a real pleasure to go through.  When all is said and done, this must be considered a book that no self-respecting comics fan can be without.
